Entries in 1939 HarleyFlahead
(1)

Uwe Ehinger has spent decades making a living searching the world for antique motorcycles that can be saved or used as the foundation for new designs of his own. As he says, “Everything I do pays tribute to the things that used to be.” This focus has earned him the nickname “The Archaeologist”, a name and idea that fuels his latest obsession.

Ehinger has applied his nickname to a premium dry gin with a unique difference: Each bottle of The Archaeologist gin contains an engine part from a classic Harley-Davidson motorcycle unearthed during one of Ehinger’s expeditions. So, for example, there is a bottle with a camshaft from a 1939 Flathead found in the Mexican desert, another with screw-nuts off a 1947 Knucklehead discovered in Chile, and yet another featuring rocker arms from a 1962 Panhead liberated from South Korea.
